re: #617 Dark_Falcon

Fearsome stuff. The sort of blade that holds its edge even when it hacks through bone.

Please excuse the ghoulish comment. I’m bloody-minded where weapons are concerned but only in thought, never in action. I believe in justice and that counters the impulse to violence.

That is exactly the point.

Only you missed the deal with the multiple thick tatamie mats. That is the kind of blade that will cut an un-armored person in half - and maintain its edge.

No sword is magic, you can nut cut another sword in half with even one of these, and there is an upper limit to all possible performance. However, mediocre blades will kill someone, and this is the upper end of the possible.
